Now Callistus was a sorcerer[63] and a trickster and in time [Sidenote: p. 442.] snatched away many. And harbouring the poison in his heart, and devising nothing straight, besides being ashamed to declare the truth because he had reproached us in public, saying: “Ye are ditheists,”[64] but especially because he had often been accused by Sabellius of having strayed from his first faith, he invented some such heresy as this:--He says that the Word is the Son and that He is also the Father, being called by that name, but being one undivided Spirit.[65] And that the Father is not one thing and the Son another; but that they subsist [as] one and the same. And that all things above and below are filled with the Divine Spirit, and that the Spirit which was incarnate in the Virgin was not other than the Father, but one and the same. And that this is the saying: “Dost thou not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in Me?”[66] For that which is seen, which is a man, that is the Son; but the Spirit which is contained in the Son, that is the Father. “For I do not,” [Sidenote: p. 443.] he says, “say that there are two Gods, Father and Son, but One. For the Father who existed in Him, having taken on Him the flesh, made it God by union with Himself and made it one [Being] so that He is called Father and Son, one God. And that this [God] being one Person cannot be two.”[67] And so he said that the Father had suffered _with_ the Son; for he did not like to say that the Father suffered and was One Person, [so as] to avoid[68] blasphemy against the Father. [Thus this] senseless and shifty fellow, scattering blasphemies high and low, so that he may only seem [not] to speak against the Truth, is not ashamed to lean now towards the doctrine of Sabellius and now towards that of Theodotus.[69]
